I’m at a stage of the exterior of the bakery room box where most of the construction elements are done. I’ll be adding little details, such as flowers, an awning, signage, etc., but the bulk of the building is complete, so I want to transition to the inside, aka, bring on the miniature sweets! I’ve been relying…
The front wall of the bakery is coming right along thanks to a rather mind-numbing stretch of brickwork last Friday. It took a bit of hunting around at local stores to find the appropriate foam for the bricks, and then there was a bit of trial and error with the brick-making process, all of which…
I’ve been working on the furniture in the miniature bakery this week, and yesterday I finished building a counter unit with a “stainless steel” top (it’s actually made from aluminum). This counter will be in the rear of the bakery in the preparation area, and I’m not loving the idea of gluing shelves to the…

The book is nearing completion, and I’ve finished all of the writing and the layout as of yesterday. The writing has been dropped into the layout, and tomorrow I’ll be working on dropping all of the project photos in as well. There’s a small handful of photos that I need to take again, because I’m…

I’m wrapping up the last of the projects for the upcoming Italian foods tutorial book, and today I have more yummy pictures to show you. In an earlier post, I gave you a peek at the pizza Margherita that will be included in the book, but I wanted to create a project for an Americanized pepperoni…
We’re taking a short interlude from the Italian food pictures (more next week, I promise!) so I can show you a couple of custom orders I’ve just completed. The first is a pendant of a pita pocket with crispy falafel, red onion, lettuce, and tomato–yum! Second, I sculpted a set of miniature macarons in a variety of…
Yesterday I finished all but one of the savory dishes for the Italian foods book, which means that I only have to sculpt that final savory dish and a small handful of Italian desserts before the sculpting/photographing portion is complete–hurrah! Next week, I’ll work on the writing portion, which I hope to have done by…
I got quite a bit finished yesterday for the upcoming Italian foods book, so I have lots of pictures for you today! If you’ve missed the first two posts, be sure to check out more yummy Italian pics here and here. For today’s dishes, first off we have a delicious platter of veal milanese with deliciously crispy…
